Seamanship Question# #41

What boat safety gear (not personal gear) should you have below just inside the companionway? 1 pt If you mean 'fire extinguisher' then I think it should be in the after locker in the cockpit (as mine is)and not inside the companionway which may well be full of smoke when you want it. In my opinion, there need to be multiple extinguishers on any boat with a cabin. One accessible in the cockpit, one just inside the companionway, and another just inside the forward hatch. I actually carry a forth one in the anchor locker. The first three places are where I keep mine. I do not have a fourth one but it is a good idea. In the anchor locker is where I keep my spare propane bottle as the locker has a drain hole in the bottom leading outside. No point in having the active propane bottle compartment vented outside if the spare is kept in a locker where any leakage goes down into the bilge. |
